Description David Melik 2014-06-12 23:23:18 UTC 
It seems one cannot remove the religious days from KDE's USA calendar, though there is a separation of church & state, so I am pretty sure all the extra days almost filling up the calendar are not official (besides being in a minority percentage of 100% totality of philosophies/religions), and I find them offencive. I turned off holidays and had also set it to 'days off', to no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to digital clock settings, and set calendar days to 'not used' or 'days off'
2. look at calendar
3.
Actual Results:  
still shows religious days

Expected Results:  
should turn off all religious days (and other types, with options for types) that are not days off, but if these are in there, probably give people an option of which to display, including some scientific/Classical, pagan/secular ones (and alternate calendars) which are what is important to about 50% (non-Abrahamic) of the world.

This was in KDE 4.10.5, the version for stable Slackware 14.1.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2014-07-21 22:45:10 UTC 
Can you confirm that you set it to "Not Used" for all regions that appear in that calender settings list?
Comment 3 David Melik 2014-07-22 01:06:58 UTC 
I had it set to 'days off' for USA, and when I set it to 'not used' like you said, that made them all disappear. However, religious days are not official days off in USA, such as, for example, Independence Day, which I want to be able to see, along with the rest of official ones, without these tens of religious days that various different religious organizations--but still not most employers--may use for days off.

this isn't really a problem with the kholidays files; its a matter of KOrganizer/Merkuro allowing the user to select only the types of holidays they want to see.

I started to implement that option in KOrganizer a long time ago but never finished.  maybe I'll look again some day soon.
